Hello all.

As I was driving to work this morning (25 kilometres each way through beautiful winding country roads - I can make it feel like the roads through Tuscany if I really concentrate) I couldn't help but notice that Bjorn really likes to travel along at a slightly higher speed than the allowable posted limit. And that got me thinking about what speeds he really likes to travel along at. And of course this in turn led me to the idea of posting this same question to the rest of us here:

what speed does your brick like to motor on down the highway at?

My friend really likes 55mph, and then he starts to get a little noisy for the next 10mph or so, and then everything really settles down again to a nice steady hum at about 65, and he really sounds healthy and invigorated up to about 80mph or so (he doesn't really like to be pushed much more than that).
